I strongly support efforts from @DeanPreston to open a safe camping site in the Haight. We need to open more safe camping spaces while working toward building more shelters and supportive housing. The people fighting it are on the wrong side of history.https://hoodline.com/amp/2020/05/neighbors-led-by-amoeba-music-owner-consider-legal-action-against-haight-tent-village …

What’s your alternative?
the alternative to packing people with high-health risk into close proximity during the middle of a pandemic? folks on the sidewalk aren’t bothering anyone, and the community prefers what we have. we don’t need to force anyone into camps. and we should build some fucking shelter.

Have you seen the tent site in Bayview? It’s actually way spaced out, in open air, and has been pretty successful. Absolutely we should be building housing, but the crisis is now and enclosed shelters have been veery prone to infection
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The community calls cops on people on the sidewalk all the time.

i didn’t say the community liked it — this is an actual disaster — i said the community prefers it to a government camp. we give the city hundreds of millions of dollars a year for this single issue. build shelter.

Consider the counterfactual: If the safe camping site was already running, would you call to shut it down without having adequate shelter capacity? I don't think you would, so it stands to reason that opening safer places to sleep is the right short-term choice.

steve, i respect you man i really do, but on what planet is packing a bunch of people with extremely high health risk into an enclosed space in the middle of a pandemic “safer”
